Armor
There are six types of traditional armor, listed on the table below.
This armor is not generally available, and (except at appropriate gatherings
or conventions) wearing it will likely result in a lot of attention.
The armor is available in two types: Full Protection and Half
Protection. Half generally refers to the main body-covering
portion (e.g. a leather jerkin) and maybe one or two other peices, while
Full includes all of that, plus helmet, gloves or gauntlet, appropriate
boots and leg coverings, and potentially a shield.
